Rotation guys should get some extra playing time , maybe time to try out some offensive plays ? Do we start and get down a little initially or put our foot down and win by 40?

Good to see that JHawk has given the college route another stab, after working HS for several years.  Good guy.

Seeing that score run up which is always nice to see.

For those of you who are watching / listening, what is Valpo doing right in this game?

Have there been significant in-game adjustments which have boosted this lead? Or is it just that our players are a bit too much for TC?

There was a huge difference in talent between Valpo and TC. Defensively, TC was a lot slower, so we able to move the ball and make drive penetration much easier. In addition, Krikke is a lot to handle against D1 competition. Put a 6'-5" defender on him and they had no chance.

Nice, easy win. Great for guys like Young to get significant playing experience.

I did not see Emil Freese-Vilien anywhere in the building last night. I thought it would be a great opportunity for him to get some minutes. Does anyone have any information about his status?

I am generally not a fan of playing non-Division 1 opponents and, based on an announced attendance of 1,239, it seems that others feel the same way. However, for this team I can see value in players seeing the ball go through the hoop (a lot) and generating some good offensive efficiency across a variety of lineups.

He was sitting in general seating area for some reason.
